2025 Heron Pointe and Waggener Farm Park Drainage Project

The Town of Berthoud in Larimer County, Colorado is seeking bids for the 2025 Heron Pointe and Waggener Farm Park Drainage Project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative consisting of two distinct task items. Item A focuses on Heron Pointe Drainage Improvements, while Item B addresses Waggener Farm Park Detention Basin Improvements. The project requires extensive excavation, regrading of existing drainage facilities, and installation of concrete channels per detailed construction drawings. Bidders must be prepared to perform work adjacent to active roadways and implement additional drainage devices as specified in the contract documents. The procurement follows a formal Invitation for Bids (IFB) process, with sealed bids due by 11:00 a.m. on September 29th, 2025. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 15th at 11:00 a.m. at Berthoud Town Hall. Contractors must submit a bid security of 5% of the total bid price and complete all work by November 30th, 2025. The project will be awarded to the lowest qualified, responsible, and responsive bidder, with the Town reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

The contract does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, each for one-half of the full contract price, and maintain liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage. Liquidated damages are established at $500 per calendar day for each day the project extends beyond the specified completion date. While the exact contract price is not predetermined, the Town will pay the contractor based on unit prices detailed in the contract documents. The project includes provisions for progress payments at 95% of completed work, with final payment to be made within 45 days of project completion and acceptance by the Director of Water Utilities. The construction documents suggest a comprehensive approach to infrastructure improvement, with detailed specifications for environmental controls, erosion management, and site stabilization. Contractors should be prepared to navigate complex civil engineering requirements and demonstrate expertise in municipal drainage and park infrastructure projects.
